| Prior
to the Civil War, two young men on Chincoteague Island pooled their resources
and built a large Maryland "T" -shaped house on Main Street. One was Dr.
Nathaniel Smith, who treated Union troops here during the war, and the
other was Joseph Kenny, who served the Island as Postmaster.

Island Manor House Bed and Breakfast
(circa 1848)
One
day a young lady came to visit from Baltimore and in due course the Postmaster
eventually fell in love and married her. Her sister came for a visit and,
would you believe, the Doctor married the sister. However, the two sisters
did not enjoy living under the same roof, so they split the house in half
and moved the front half next door. |
